One of Naarm/Melbourne’s best hidden gems, Tomalia is a piano-led cabaret art-pop artist turning confession into spectacle. Blending sass, sarcasm, and provocative storytelling, her work explores young womanhood in a modern world.

Holding a Bachelor of Music from Monash University and shaped by a classical piano upbringing, Tomalia creates a unique sound that fuses cabaret decadence with avant-garde flare. Inspired by the emotional intensity of Fiona Apple and the theatrical surrealism of Kate Bush, she threads her work with subtle jazz harmonies while balancing elegance with chaos, vulnerability with spectacle.

Her live performances are immersive and emotionally charged, balancing raw intimacy with dramatic, cabaret-inspired intensity. Whether performing solo or with her band, Tomalia creates a transportive atmosphere that invites audiences into a world that is at once evocative, unsettling, and darkly humorous. She has performed at iconic Melbourne venues including The Night Cat and sold out her debut headline show.

Her recent single Vomit signals a bold new era—pairing grotesque humour with dark catharsis and pushing further into experimental territory. Her music has been broadcast on Triple R and SYN Radio, and she was awarded second place in a Monash University songwriting competition influenced by Kate Miller Heidke.

A compelling and unconventional voice within Australia’s emerging music landscape, Tomalia continues to push the boundaries of art-pop and cabaret, crafting work that is as confronting as it is captivating.
